Question

    Consider the following two statements

    (A) Kirchhoff's junction law follows from the conservation of charge.

    (B) Kirchhoff's loop law follows from the conservation of energy.

    Which of the following is correct?

    A Both (A) and (B) are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both (A) and (B) are wrong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (A) is correct and (B) is wrong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (A) is wrong and (B) is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to Kirchhoff's junction law, the net charge coming towards a point should be equal to the net charge going away from that point in the same time. It follows from the principle of conservation of charge. Hence statement A is correct.
